Mo Hua stood outside the study, glancing inside to see what Uncle Gu might be doing.
Knowing Mo Hua had arrived, Gu Changhuai sighed,
"Come in."
Mo Hua confidently entered.
Gu Changhuai sat at a rosewood desk inlaid with gold.
Mo Hua looked around and, seeing no seats in front of the desk, moved a stool from the side to face Gu Changhuai and sat down opposite him.
Gu Changhuai sighed again.
This kid, he's too familiar with himself...
Mo Hua then began to discuss official matters.
"Uncle Gu, is there a lead on Fire Buddha?"
Although Mo Hua could tell from Uncle Gu's complexion that there were likely no leads and little progress, he still asked out of formality.
Gu Changhuai shook his head but clearly didn't want to say much.
"That..." Mo Hua continued to ask, "Has the Letter Token from Flower Gentleman been restored?"
Gu Changhuai's expression soured, "No, it can't be restored..."
Mo Hua's eyes lit up, but he still expressed regret.
Gu Changhuai silently watched Mo Hua, frowning,
"Why do you seem... rather happy about that?"
"No, not at all..."
Mo Hua's words were a tad insincere.
He had studied the Yuan Magnetic Formation exactly for the purpose of "restoring" the Magnetic Patterns and recovering the erased text in the Letter Token.
If someone else had restored it, his efforts would have been in vain.
Gu Changhuai was somewhat puzzled and didn't know what to say.
Mo Hua then tentatively whispered,
"Uncle Gu, how about you let me try?"
Gu Changhuai looked bewildered, "Let you try what?"
"The Letter Token!"
Gu Changhuai eyed Mo Hua skeptically, "Don't tell me, in these few days, you've already learned how to 'restore' the Magnetic Patterns of the Letter Token?"
Mo Hua nodded with a sense of "modesty."
Gu Changhuai was silent.
